Q: How much greenhouse gas is released into our air by idling engines?

A: If you want me to turn off the car, you can ask me. You don't have to be so passive-aggressive. You can ask me.

Go ahead and ask me.

Go on.

No, I will not turn off the car. Would you like to know why?

I know you're the boss's son and this is your first time on a caper, so I understand that there are certain things that you don't know, things that must be taught. Allow me to enlighten you.

The first rule of driving a getaway car is: Never turn off the getaway car.

It's a pretty simple rule. I'm sure you can understand why we would have the rule. Once you're done robbing a bank and you sprint outside and jump in the getaway, the cops hot on your tail, the last thing you want to do is wait for the engine to turn over. It's literally the difference between life or death.

You also shouldn't ever park the getaway car. Or get out of the getaway car. Or take off for a second to go grab a burger or check in on an old girlfriend who lives in this neighborhood.

These rules exist for a reason. These rules exist to save lives.

You're a smart kid, I get it, but you can't learn everything in college.

And I think it's wonderful that you care about the environment. I'm sure it gets you laid all the time. But the lives of those men in there are more important to me than a few melting glaciers up in Greenland.

Hey, do you hear shooting?

Why are they all the way over there. The bank's at 127 East 3rd.

172 East 3rd?

Really?

Goddamnit!

Okay, kid, here's the deal. I know a girl who lives in this neighborhood. Real sweet girl. Got a kid sister, around your age. Really pretty. Why don't we go by there and say hello? And stay there for, two, three days?
